Scott Walker’s victory last night in Wisconsin may be a wake-up call for Democrats in the post-Citizens United political landscape. Although Tom Barett received an enormous amount of grassroots support, Scott Walker outspent him 8-to-1, thanks in large part to out-of-state contributions by corporate and wealthy donors. In January, a CBS News/New York Times poll found that 67% of Americans believe that unlimited spending on advertisements by groups not affiliated with a candidate during a political campaign should be limited by law.

According to the New York Times, it appears that the heated political and moral debate over the morality of the morning-after pill may be based on a faulty understanding of how the drug actually works. Generally, an overwhelming majority of Americans and Catholics (89% and 82% respectively), believe it is morally acceptable to use birth control.
